# inlets-demo-gcp
Exposes an nginx server running in your private Kubernetes cluster (e.g using Docker Desktop in your local laptop) to Google Cloud Platform using [inlets.dev](https://inlets.dev/)
## Getting started
Getting `arkade`:
```cli
curl -sSL https://dl.get-arkade.dev | sudo sh
```
On the Kubernetes host install `inlets-pro` and `inletsctl`
```cli
curl -sLSf https://inletsctl.inlets.dev | sudo sh
sudo inletsctl download --pro
```
Configure the required permissions in your Google Cloud project:
```cli
./setup-gcp.sh
```
Provision a VM in Google Cloud Platform using `inlestctl`:
```cli
inletsctl create \
--project-id $PROJECTID \
--provider gce \
--access-token-file key.json
```
Install the `inlets-operator` and specify the path for the GCP access token:
```cli
arkade install inlets-operator \
--provider gce \
--project-id $PROJECTID \
--zone us-central1-a \
--token-file key.json \
--license $(cat ./inlets-pro-license.txt)
```
Deploy the nginx workload to your private Kubernetes cluster:
```cli
kubectl apply -f \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/inlets/inlets-operator/master/contrib/nginx-sample-deployment.yaml
```
Finally, expose it with a `LoadBalancer` from Google Cloud Platform:
```cli
kubectl expose deployment nginx-1 --port=80 --type=LoadBalancer
```
## Clean up
Remove the VM that was created with `inletsctl`:
```cli
inletsctl delete --provider gce \
--id "|us-central1-a|" \
--access-token-file key.json
```
